Many members asked about the recent controversy involving the so-called Windrush generation, in which Caribbean immigrants were given permission to stay in Britain but had their documentation destroyed in 2010. Prime Minister May apologized to those affected and said “the decision to destroy the landing cards was taken in 2009” by the last Labour government. Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of the opposition, pressed the prime minister about what her government would do to make the burden on these immigrants easier. Also, the topic of antisemitism arose in the wake of a debate about anti-Semitism within the Labour Party. Additionally, the Commonwealth Heads of Government 2018 meeting in London was discussed among members.
